Many of my students, particularly those who receive special education services, experience fluctuations in energy levels that can make it difficult to remain engaged during instruction. These energy-boosting tools offered a positive, proactive way to help students meet their sensory and attention needs so they could access learning more successfully.\r\n\r\nWith these resources available, students were able to use movement-based and sensory supports to re-energize their bodies and minds during lessons and independent work time. Rather than becoming disengaged or overwhelmed, students learned how to recognize when their energy was low and independently choose a tool that helped them refocus. This increased sense of autonomy empowered students to take ownership of their learning and build self-awareness skills that are essential for long-term success.\r\n\r\nThe tools also contributed to a calmer and more productive classroom environment. When students' energy needs were met, there were fewer disruptions and fewer instances of off-task behavior. Students were better able to transition between activities, follow directions, and remain seated and attentive during instructional periods. This allowed instructional time to be used more effectively and created a more inclusive learning space where all students could participate.\r\n\r\nAcademically, the impact was clear. Students demonstrated improved stamina during lessons, greater participation in discussions, and increased completion of assignments. Tasks that once felt overwhelming became more manageable because students had the supports they needed to regulate their energy and attention. These tools helped level the playing field, ensuring that students who struggle with attention or sensory processing could engage with the same content as their peers.\r\n\r\nSocially and emotionally, the project fostered confidence and reduced frustration. Students felt supported rather than singled out, as the tools were integrated naturally into the classroom routine. This normalization encouraged positive peer interactions and reinforced the idea that everyone learns differently and may need different supports to succeed.\r\n\r\nOverall, this funded project did far more than provide materials—it enhanced students' ability to learn, self-regulate, and feel successful in the classroom. The energy-boosting tools continue to support student growth each day, making a lasting difference in their educational experience.","fullyFundedDate":1636029225485,"projectUrl":"project/boost-energy-through-covid-19/5958314/","projectTitle":"Boost Energy through COVID-19!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Coleman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3438795_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1471109928460","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/core-rriculum"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_123559","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":902,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":38,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":14,"percentWhite":35,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":30,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":61.9,"schoolId":123559,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Coral Academy of Science - Nellis AFB on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Coral Academy of Science - Nellis AFB","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/nevada/nevada-department-of-education/coral-academy-of-science-nellis-afb/123559"}
